Information Alison W. would like to know about your pet

Just love to know if there are any special needs I should be aware of - medication, any kind of food they can or can’t have, any details are always helpful.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the park and on walks. I do try to do something special with them each time. For instance, I know a great place where they have cold treats for the dogs. I like to buy a special treat or have fruit, etc on hand for them (assuming that’s okay with the owner.) I like to create a “spa-like” atmosphere as they get ready for bed. Just pamper them. And, I love to play silly games with them. I believe dogs have a great sense of humor!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of both pet behavior and care. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I having had dogs most of my life, I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and mental stimulation. Your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll thrive and be loved in your absence.

My pug and I love Alison so much! She does a great job of taking my dog with her wherever she goes and plays games with her. I appreciate all the photos she sends!

Very thoughtful. Sent us photos daily. Our high energy pup came home sleepy too which was much needed after travelling
